  SimpleTexting sells monthly credit-based plans where one SMS up to 160
  characters equals one credit, an extended SMS (up to 306 characters) costs
  2 credits, and an MMS costs 3 credits. Plans are tiered by the number of
  included monthly credits, with per-credit cost dropping as volume rises.
  Each plan includes three user seats; additional seats are $20/month and
  additional sending numbers are $10/month. Overage credits beyond the
  monthly allotment are billed at $0.055 per credit. Annual billing saves
  roughly 20% versus monthly. The same API and feature set is available on
  all paid plans; there is a free trial rather than a permanent free tier.
notes: >-
  Representative monthly (month-to-month) US plan tiers and rates as
  published on the SimpleTexting pricing page in 2026; verify current
  tiers, credits, and per-credit pricing on the pricing page, as they change.

  note: >-
    SimpleTexting presents pricing as a "build your own plan" credit slider rather
    than a fixed tier table, so only the values the page renders at load were
    directly re-verified on 2026-08-13: the 500-credit anchor at $39.00/month
    ($398.40 billed annually, a 20% saving), overage at 5.5 cents per credit, 3
    users included, additional users $20/month, additional numbers $10/month, and
    a local number at $10/month plus a $4 one-time activation fee. The remaining
    credit tiers below were captured in an earlier pass from the same slider and
    are retained as representative; treat them as indicative, not quoted.

  api_access: >-
    API access is included on paid plans; there is no separate API SKU. SimpleTexting
    additionally gates API use by approval — an account must email
    support@simpletexting.net with a use case before the API is enabled
    (https://api-doc.simpletexting.com/).
  free_tier: none — a free trial with no credit card required, but no permanent free plan
